Espana River

Espana, A mystical road that turns into a River during an onslaught of Heavy rains.

I've been studying in UST for three years and This is the actually the first time I've seen the River rise to this level, where it seeps into UST campus.

I just hate what happened today.

The whole road was under water. What's worse The driver of the Jeepney went into it and suddenly changed his mind half-way, thus leaving us in the middle of the river. Yes, Let's call it that because water level rises to that extent. He wants us out of the jeep, but the problem was we didn't want to get our shoes wet. After that fiasco, I entered UST via the gate near the over pass. What a shocker, Water levels there is high as well... good thing the guard set up a ramp made of wooden and metal benches and plywood.

Another problem was when we were going home, Kechu and I. We weedled around the small streets just to get to higher ground, to a place where it isn't flooded. What's worse, the jeep we were supposed to ride was always full... It all ended up when Kechu did a coin flip. Heads, Dapitan-Ust will Pass by, Tails, It wont... It was tails, shortly after we were able to get on the right jeep.

god, next time that happens, I'll definitely bring a pair of flip-flops.
